The Journey of the Genius Failed
20. The Battle against the Bandits.

A few days later, Rouzen again gets a mission. The mission this time is to defeat the bandits on the hill of Rakes, a hill that is about 1 day trip from Meiyan village. This time also, Rouzen carried out his mission together with 3 students from the level of Jandra, and the three Jandra students were Bufan, Yessie and Lowis who were in the Gama class.

In the room where Rouzen had the mission.

In this room, there were 5 people gathered. They are Redes, Rouzen, Bufan, Yessie and Lowis. Here, Redes became the one to provide mission information to Rouzen and the others. In addition, Redes is also currently the homeroom teacher of the Abira class.

“Your mission now is to eradicate bandits on Rakes hill. The bandit had already caused one Nagaya person to die on the way, so we who became one of the 6 large villages or villages that produced a lot of Aryan had to act immediately to eradicate them, so that events like before do not happen again.” Say Redes while crossing your arms around your chest.

“What teacher is sure to give us that mission?.” Rouzen was a little anxious. The reason is not because of him, but his partner who is still at the level of Jandra.

“Iya I'm sure. If from the beginning is Aryan the path you choose, then do not give up and regret in the middle of the road. Rouzen, you've done missions like this, right when you were in the Jandra-level Gama class?.” Redes spoke seriously.

“Iya.”

“Well, the same thing will happen to other Gama class students as well, including your colleague.”

Rouzen at the time of being in the Gama class, he had also been in the position of Bufan, Yessie and Lowis. Rouzen at the time had a mission to defeat an evil group, along with one student from the Abira class who became its leader and guide.

Then Redes continued.

“You understand now, right? So do not worry too much, because the academy will not give missions beyond the ability of students.”

“Iya.” Rouzen.

“Good. Then take this.” Redes while throwing a map of the location of the bandits on Rakes hill.

Rouzen captured the map and opened it.

“It was a map of the location where the Bandit was located. But you have to be careful on the way, because you don't know if the bandits are in a location like the one on the map, or that bandit is waiting for his prey around the location that is on that map (not at the point indicated in the map ).” Redes.

“Good.” Rouzen.

“Good. Any questions?.” Redes stared at the four people one by one.

Yessi finally raised her hand.

“Hmm?.” Redes was curious about Yessie's question.

“What if on that mission something happens that is beyond our capabilities? for example the ability of the bandits was different from the academy's estimate.” Yessie asked.

“Good question. If such a thing happens, you can either run away immediately or order one of you to return to the village and tell me or the other guidance teacher.”

“So yes. But if we do something like that, will the pay or completion rate of the mission be reduced?.” Yessie said.

“No. The pay and completion rate of your mission will remain the same. But to do that, of course, the reason must be clear and completely beyond your ability. Because if you try to lie, you can get punishment from the academy. In addition, if you can complete the mission even with the ability of an opponent who is wrongly estimated (more powerful), you can get a higher pay and completion rate of the mission. And it will also be known after the results of the academy examination. Do you understand now?.”

“Iya, I already understand.”

“Good. And the others? do you understand?.”

“We understand.”

“Good. Now run the mission and good luck.” Redes is encouraging.

After which, Rouzen and his 3 companions left the room and immediately went to the location.

The four of them moved to the location by jumping one tree trunk to another. But that only applies if they are on the forest route, while for routes such as savannah/field where there are no trees, they move by running.

1 day had passed, finally the four of them had reached the area around the Bandit hideout.

“How is the plan?.” Bufan asked Rouzen.

Rouzen was silent for a moment while thinking.

By the time he had found an idea.

“You guys wait here for a minute, I'll go deeper there and check it out.”

The three Rouzen colleagues were shocked by Rouzen's words.

“What are you serious about?.” Bufan's worried.

“Don't worry, I won't do anything beyond my means. And also by the time I finish checking, I will be sending a signal to you guys.” Rouzen said.

“Signal?.” Lowis's distraught.

“True. I'm going to pull out a move towards the sky, so you can see the signal later. If I let out the fire style, you guys are ready to fight because by then the possibility of my infiltration is known. And if I let out a small slash, you guys prepare for an ambush, because at that time we will eradicate those bandits secretly. Do you understand?.” Rouzen said.

“We understand.”

“Good.”

After that Rouzen also went alone to hide from the Bandits. Rouzen walked carefully, as he was afraid that the bandits would ambush him. Until it had been running for quite a long time, Rouzen finally arrived at a place near the hideout of the bandits. Rouzen watched the area around the bandit's hideout meticulously. But he did not find anything strange, so he immediately pulled out a knife, and took out a stance using the knife. Therefore, a white-colored incision came out from Rouzen's blade and pointed towards the sky.

It had been almost 10 minutes of Rouzen waiting, his partner no one had come, which caused Rouzen to worry. And not long after, Rouzen realized something.

“Do not...” Rouzen flinched and realized something.

Rouzen immediately moved swiftly into a hut where the hut was the hiding place of the bandits. Rouzen broke into the hut, and sure enough, there was no one in it.

“Sialan.” Rouzen panicked and immediately went to his partner's place.

In place of 3 fellow Rouzen.

The three of them were surrounded by 6 bandits with sinister appearances.

“Hehehe... she finally left too.” The bandit with the burns on his face smirked.

“The boy who carried the sword I mean.”

The bandit was talking about Rouzen. Because at this moment, Rouzen was carrying a sword on his back.

“Dia? You know him?.” Bufan was surprised, as were Yessie and Lowis.

“True, I know him. He is the most troublesome boy I have ever met.”

“...” Bufan and his 2 colleagues just kept quiet and focused.

“Already, it's free that I explain. Since you guys are ready, then we will also prepare.”

Bufan, Yessi and Lowis brought their backs closer together, so that their positions became triangular. The three of them were protecting the back from their respective comrades, so the bandits would have a little trouble attacking their blind spots.

The bandits began to show their actions. The bandits threw some throwing knives at the three of them, in search of a crack. Therefore, the three of them were like being showered with knives. And because of that too, the three of them tried to fend off the attacks from the bandits.

“Ombak blowing.” Lowis took out his manager.

Thanks to the stance issued by Lowis, the wind that blows fiercely towards the top becomes surrounding the three of them and protecting them from the front.

“Wind chaos.” Bufan pulled out his nurse, and threw her up.

Because of that stance, the wind whirls above the three of them and protects the three of them from above. Even because of Bufan's skill, the throwing knife thrown by the bandits turned to attack the bandits themselves.

Looking at the abilities of the three boys, the previously speaking bandits or bandits with burns on their faces became amazed.

“Hehehe... Your ability is also no worse than him.” The bandit praised Bufan, Yessie and Lowis.

In the position of the three of them, Bufan ordered Yessie to pull out his manager towards the wind of chaos that had not ended.

“Yessie, direct your style into the wind of my chaos.”

“Good.”

Yessie took out her nurse and put her in Bufan's chaos wind style.

“Autumn's memories.”

Smoke that fragrant out of Yessie's body, then Yessie control the smoke to get into the style of Bufan. Therefore, the wind of Bufan chaos became not only issued a tornado, but now the wind of chaos belonging to Bufan to emit smoke that fragrant accompanied the leaves that fall. Even because of the combination, the blade that was thrown back towards the bandits became fragrant as well, which left the bandits a little out of focus.

“What is this fragrance?.”

The bandits began to lose focus and stopped their knife throws temporarily.

Feeling that the bandits were losing focus, Bufan immediately issued his assault move.

“Invisible wishes.”

An incision made from the wind also emerged from Bufan's hand, which Bufan then threw towards one of the Bandits, which made the bandit exposed Bufan's moves on his neck.

“Akh..” The bandit was in pain, and eventually died.

Then it was Lowis' turn to attack. Lowis threw one of the knives at one of the bandits, then he pushed the knife he threw with one of the managers.

“Wind thrust.”

By the time the blade flew towards one of the bandits, it had become moving much faster due to the wind-push of Lowis. Until finally the knife hit the bandit's head until the bandit was killed.

Yessie did not want to miss out too, she issued her manager to one of the bandits.

“Harum tranquility.”

Yessie pulled out her nurse, until a fragrant smoke appeared that led to one of the bandits. After that, the fragrant smoke of Yessie surrounded the body of the bandit, and over time the smoke wrapped around and wrapped the body of the bandit. Yessie did nothing else after that, but she kept holding the stance. Until a while later or when the nurse ended, the bandit was immediately killed due to difficulty breathing.

Seeing that incident, the bandits became very upset.

“The rancid boys, get out of the damn wind that surrounds you.”

At this moment, the defense of the three of them was still active, because when the manager was about to end, they quickly renewed the manager again. And by the time the three of them issued an attack, they loosened the defense for a while, so that they could issue an attack towards the bandits.

The bandits were indeed very upset with the three of them, but there was only one bandit who was relaxed. And that bandit is a bandit with a burn on his face or a first-time talking bandit. Even the bandit insulted his defeated accomplice.

“Stupid once.” Said the bandit after watching 3 of his colleagues killed.

Because it had been several times to update the stance, finally the three of them were exhausted and the defense became weaker.

“Hahaha... It looks like you guys are tired already huh?. Then.” One of the bandits moved quickly while carrying a machete towards the three of them after seeing the defense of the three of them weaken.

“Death.” The bandit attacked Lowis who was nearby at this moment.

But not until the machete hit Lowis, the bandit was injured in his eye.

“Akh The bandit was in pain and while holding his bloody eyes.

“Sorry I'm late.” Rouzen came while holding a small knife that was bleeding from a stab towards the bandit's eye.

By the time the bandit's machete almost hit Lowis, Rouzen moved quickly from behind Lowis, then he jumped while thrusting the knife in his hand towards the eye of the bandit who was about to attack Lowis.

Thanks to Rouzen's arrival, the three of them became relieved now. And for the bandits with burns on his face.

“Hehehe... You came too.” The bandit with the burns on his face smirked.

Rouzen who saw that became very surprised.

“K-you... how can?.” Rouzen did not believe it.
